How can i stop my ipod from syncing automatically?

I don't want my ipod to sync automatically when i connect it to the computer, i wanna sync it manually
What does syncing even mean? like it just backs up the files yeah?
'Cause i find it annoying that when like, maybe i add some new songs to itunes, maybe i don't want them on my ipod, which is why i don't want it to sync automatically, how do i change this?

Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods....syncing". Then, with the iPod connected to the computer you can chack the appropirate boxes in the Muisic pane for the iPod and check which songs you want on the iPod and Connie 9 suggested.

    How can I stop my nano from syncing every time I do something?  Sometimes it takes overnight to complete the sync.

    Check your sync settings on the Music and other tabs. Personally I untick the box that says "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" and under Edit > Preferences > Devices I tick the box that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically". This means that I get to choose and, if necessary, edit the content selections and then start the sync only when I'm ready.

  • How can I stop my ipod from updating to 6.0.1?

    I was updating th settings to the latest software and hours later I found my screen had a sign that said plug into itunes.  I plugged it into itunes, but screen didn't change and the software isn't updating!  How can I stop the software from updating?

    Put the iPod into DFU (Device Firmware Update mode). You software got corrupted, so you will have to restore your iPod which erases all data and settings.

  • How can I stop my Apps from being automatically updated on my iPad2?

    How can I stopy my Apps from being automatically updated on my iPad2? I have an extremely slow wi-fi at work and my iPad Apps appear to be frozen as they are waiting to be updated. Help!

    In iTunes use the File menu "Transfer purchases from..." item. Ordinarily you will get a warning to do this before an update. Presumably your computer is authorized to use your account and it is the computer to which you normally sync your iPod?

  • How can I stop my ipod from going to my picture library when connected to my computer?

    A week or so ago I clicked the option that was saying "Transfer photos from ipod to computer" under the "What should this device do" option thing when you first connect your ipod to your computer. I have windows 8.1. Anyway, I thought the photo thing was a one time deal and it wouldn't ask me "what to do" again. Usually i ignore it but I did,in fact, have photos to put on my computer that day.
    Now every time I plug my ipod into my computer it takes me to my picture library to start "reading" my ipod photos and if you have windows 8 or greater, that is very annoying because it's its own separate "application". Is there a way to reset this setting without resetting my ipod so it doesn't take me to my picture library each time? I can deal with the pop-up when you first connect I just don't wanna have to keep exiting my picture library each time I connect my ipod.

    It's simply called Photos and there is no options/setting thing on it. I have windows 8, it's a stand alone photo library viewer.

  • How can I stop Adobe Illustrator from starting automatically i boot

    Every time I turn on my imac, Adobe Illustrator launches automatically. It is not that big a deal, but it is annoying and I cannot figure out how to stop it. I think my 3 yo daughter did it by accident! Thanks for your feedback in advance

    Go to System Prefs>Accounts>your name and remove Adobe from the start-up items. There should also be a place in Adobe preferences that asks if you want it to launch when the computer starts, Deselect that option.

    how can I stop deleted gmails from reappearing?

    Ignore him!  Syncing will not solve this.
    if this just started, it may also resolve on its own.   A reboot may resolve it quicker.
    When you delete, are you confirming the delete by taping "done" Or "delete"?

    Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID.  If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud
